Rick McIntyre, Nathan Varley, and the Wolves of Yellowstone

Wolves may be among the most sought-after animals in Yellowstone Park, but they didn’t always enjoy such a solid reputation. In this episode, host Leslie Gaines sits down with Nathan Varley, co-owner of Yellowstone Wolf Tracker, and Rick McIntyre, author, biologist, and wolf-behavior expert, to discuss the fascinating history of wolves in Yellowstone and their importance to the ecosystem and local economy.

Hear riveting tales of the wolves' triumphs and tribulations, such as deadly rivalries between and within packs. Both guests hope to increase public acceptance of wolves, as well as channel their interest in the wildlife conservation.

This episode is sponsored by Elk Horn Lodge, Yellowstone Wolf Tracker, Zalaby’s Custom Catering, and Yellowstone Gateway Inn.
